To all whom it may concern-5 Be it known that I, J-osnsn J. 'CoseRovE, a citizen of the United States, residing at Philadelphia, in the county of Philadelphia and State of Pennsylvania, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in ater-Closets and Soil-Pipe Connections Tlfherefor, of which the following is e soecification.

This invention. has rein'tion to water closets and soil pipe connections therefor anrL has for its ob3ect the provision of a novel all-metallic connection between the outlet passage of the bowl of a wstercioset and the soil pipe l'esdingtherefrorn.

It has been customary heretofore to interpose between the outlet passage por-' scribed several forms of water closet connections in which the connection between the water closet bowl and the soiipi'p'e is of the ball and socket type, the soil pipe in each case being provided with a. hell or scchet having a spherical seat to receive a spherical s igot or thirnble projecting below the end 0 the outlet passage of the bowl.

In carrying my present invention mto cilect l em loy, in connection with a water closetbow having a spherical spigot or thimble projecting below the outlet passage,

such as are shown and describedin the before mentioned Letters Patent; :1 soil-pipe having: a boil or socket to receive the said spigot or thimble. but, instead of forming the seat direct i341 inthc walls of the hell or socket, l lorru t ,9 seat portion'infih se isra'tc piece from the bell or socket proper, tsie two-parts, that is the seat portion and-the hell -or socket proper being screwed one into the other so as to provide a tight, secure connection between these parts which will permit of the seat portion being verticell-yf adjusted in the manner and for the pur poses hereinafter described.

Referring to the accompanying drawing in which l have illustrated my present invention applied to various types of all I Specificotio'n oil-letters Fat-eat.

'meteliic and earthenware water closets and soii pipe connections, Figure 1 is a frog nicntery vertical sectional view of s portion of a. water closet bowl and a port-ion .of as soil pipe with my proposed connection, the spigot end or the outlet psssege of the bowl being formed integral with the Fig. 2 is a view similcr to Fig. l WlllEll the spigot sepsrste therefrom and screwing therein. Fig. 3 is sview similar to Figs. 1 and '2 but spherical seat and nving s thimblc with s spherical peripheral surface inter tween the outlet passage of the ''owl and the soil pipe.

'is of the ususlor any desired type and is aving the depending flange 3, at its edge, this flange resting on the floor 4, so as to leave a as see 5, between the base and the floor. T 1e base 2 is ierccd for the passage of bolts 6 upon whic that serve to connect the base wlth a flange Scarried b the boil or socket 9 of a soil pi e 16, said be I or socket being connected totii'e 1 soil pipe b a. screw coupling 11.01 in any other suitable manner. 7

In the form shown in Fig. 2 of the drawings it spigot 13 is provided this spigot being in a sepamte piece from the closet bowl and screwing thcreinto and being provided-with s spheriosi peripheral surfoce l i', while in sed be-' The bowl or closet which is designated 1- i are screwed nuts 7,'

Each of the several forms oi water closet bowl obovedescribed may be used in conncction with my present improvement which. i will now describe in detail.
